When Earl Derr Biggers created the character Charlie Chan for his detective novel in the 1920s, it is doubtful he imagined that nearly a hundred years later his ace detective would still be known, and that he would have found popularity in not only books and magazines, but television, films, radio, comics, and Ð of course Ð newspapers. CHARLIE CHAN is the calm and logical detective; certainly not as cold as Sherlock or as suave as Spade, but with a genuineness that drew readers. This collection of 86 consecutive Sunday comics is a great way to enjoy the early Charlie Chan Comics, as drawn by Alfred Andriola.
